▼ People frequently perform daily activities that involve multitasking. For example, we maintain posture while holding a cup of coffee or a cell phone. It is not uncommon to experience a perturbation during such a task performance. In this dissertation, we study control of vertical posture in the presence of postural instability and holding an object in one hand. Successful completion of these tasks depends on efficient interaction of two components of the task: maintenance of vertical posture (postural component) and stabilization of the object (focal component). While each component was studied extensively in the past, investigating the interaction between the postural and focal components received much lesser attention in the prior literature. As such, a series of studies were conducted in order to examine the interplay between the postural and focal components.
In the first study (chapter 3), we investigated the effect of postural asymmetry induced by performing a secondary motor task on control of vertical posture. Participants (N=9) were asked to stand on the force platform and hold an object in one hand that induced body asymmetry. In addition, the subjects stood with feet apart and feet together (narrow base of support) and were subjected to perturbationa applied to their shoulders. In this study and following studies the side of holding an object will be referred as a target side and the other side of body will be referred as a contralateral side. Reciprocal activation of muscles on the target side and co-contraction of muscles on the contralateral side were seen when standing in asymmetrical stance and being subjected to external perturbation. Decreased magnitudes of muscle activation were seen in the APA phase while standing with narrow base of support.
In the second study (chapter 4), we investigated motor control perspectives of coordinating maintenance of posture and application of grip force when holding an object and being perturbed. In this study, participants (N=10) were asked to stand on the force platform holding an instrumented cup while being perturbed at the shoulders. Gripping task demands were manipulated by positioning a slippery cap on top of the cup. Onsets of grip force were seen before the onsets of the center of pressure (COP) displacement and initiation of the movements of the cup during the anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) phase of postural control, while the onsets of maximum grip force preceded the maximum COP displacement. When the task demands increased by holding an instrumented cup with the slippery cap, participants tended to generate grip force earlier and of a smaller magnitude. Moreover, the COP displacement in the APA phase when holding the cup with the slippery cap was smaller as compared to the holding the cup only.
In the third study (chapter 5), we studied APAs and CPAs people use to maintain balance while standing on a sliding board that was either unlocked (and as such unstable) or locked (and as such stable) and performing voluntary arm movements. Nine…

▼ This thesis primarily focuses on studying the effects of dual tasks on the postural control in older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). The study tries to answer the following questions: Is there any difference in postural control between individuals with MCI and older adults? Will there be any difference in performance of a secondary task in individuals with MCI to that of older adults without impaired cognition? Will the dual task effect the postural control in the individuals with MCI? Will the complexity of the dual task affect postural control in individuals with MCI to a larger degree compared to healthy older adults?
The first chapter of the thesis provides information about the present statistics on population at falls risk. It then provides information about Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and describes the neuropathology basis of MCI as what changes occurs within the MCI and its progression. The chapter also introduces information related to the importance of study of postural balance in MCI and older adults and describes the previous research methods to study postural control. Than a statement of aims of the study is provided. Then information is provided about how participants were chosen for the study, the inclusion and exclusion criteria, IRB (International Review Board) approval obtained for the study, and the clinical assessment measures performed within the study to provide descriptive information about the study participants.
The second chapter describes the results of the study of the effect of a cognitive task and light finger touch on standing balance in healthy adults. As previous studies have reported the individual effects of cognitive task and light finger touch, this study is the first to determine the concurrent effect of the cognitive task and finger touch on static balance in young healthy adults. This study involving healthy individuals provides a foundation for the study of the effect of a cognitive task and finger touch in balance control of older adults and individuals with cognitive impairment.
The third chapter includes 3 studies investigating dual task effect on static and dynamic balance in individuals with MCI as compared to healthy older adults. Part 1 of the third chapter is in line with the second chapter involving investigation of the concurrent effect of cognitive task and light finger touch on standing balance in the individuals with MCI as compared to older adults. Part 2 of the third chapter focuses on the study of the effect of manual and cognitive secondary task on spatio-temporal gait variables in older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment. Gait variables reported were gait velocity, cadence, step length and stride length that provides definite measures of gait cycle. Part 3 is devoted to the study of the effect of dual task on performance of clinical test of mobility and balance. In particular, we investigated how individuals with MCI perform Timed Up and Go (TUG) test in 3 experimental conditions involving concurrent secondary task performance. The TUG…

▼ Background: The purpose of this study was to observe and quantify the effect of aging and the long-term practice of Tai Chi on movement control, indicated by both performance-outcome (temporal) and performance-production (amplitude) measures, on a multi-planar stand-reaching (i.e. functional) task. We hypothesized that younger controls and older Tai Chi practitioners would perform better than healthy, older non-practitioners. Methods: Thirty-five healthy adults participated in this cross-sectional study (12 Tai Chi practitioners, 11 age-matched older non-practitioners and 12 young controls). Subjects performed flexion- and abduction-reaching tasks guided by a preparatory cue, which was followed by a second cue to initiate movement to touch the target as quickly and as accurately as possible. Wireless sensors were used to collect surface EMG and acceleration data to render performance-outcome (reaction time, burst duration, time-to-peak and movement time) and performance-production (normalized EMG amplitude and peak acceleration) measures. Results: Young subjects and Tai Chi practitioners manifested significantly faster reaction times, shorter burst durations, shorter times to peak and overall quicker movement time, with correspondingly greater normalized EMG amplitudes and larger peak accelerations, as compared to older adults (p < 0.001 and p < 0.05, respectively, for all variables). Relative effect computations (i.e. effect of Tai Chi expressed as a percentage of the effect of aging) showed that age-matched Tai Chi practitioners exhibited approximately 20–60% (flexion), and 20–100% (abduction) improvement in reaching task performance. Conclusion: Tai Chi practitioners displayed better movement control than non-practicing individuals on a relatively challenging and comparatively more functional stand-reaching task.

▼ Noninvasive brain stimulation techniques, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), have emerged as a promising tool to enhance motor function by modulating corticomotor excitability. Anodal tDCS has shown to modulate corticomotor excitability and improve motor function in those with neurological disease. However, there is limited information on the reliability of these effects. In order to increase the potential of tDCS as a clinical tool, it is important to be able to demonstrate that the effects of tDCS are reliable, and individuals respond to the intervention in a predictable manner when retested. The main purpose of this thesis was to explore the test-retest effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied in conjunction with a skilled motor learning task versus when applied at rest. Fifteen healthy participants were recruited and tested under two stimulation conditions: 1) anodal tDCS during a motor task (tDCS-task) and 2) anodal tDCS at rest (tDCS-rest). The outcome measures evaluated were changes in the corticomotor excitability using single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation. Results revealed that tDCS application during practice of a skilled motor task resulted in reduced variability in TMS measures compared to tDCS applied in the absence of motor practice. Testing at higher stimulus intensities (140% AMT) and examining input output response curves provided a more reliable method of testing the effects of tDCS.

▼ The goal of the study was to investigate the effect of a textured insole (that induced discomfort on one side of the body) on symmetry of turning in healthy individuals. The outcome of the study showed that the textured insole caused asymmetry in healthy individuals performing the task immediately after they started using a textured insole and after a short time of using it. Such a change in the movement pattern of healthy subjects resembles movement pattern seen in individuals with unilateral impairment such as stroke. In particular, when experiencing unilateral discomfort, healthy subjects utilized asymmetrical trunk movements. The results of the study suggest that if the discomfort is induced on the unaffected side of individuals with unilateral impairment, it can help such individuals to regain the ability to perform turning task more symmetrically. This suggestion should be tested in future study of the role of discomfort-inducing devices in improving symmetry of turning in individuals with unilateral impairment.

▼ We have observed that the magnitude of grip force used to lift and transport a hand-held object could be reduced if a light finger touch is provided by the contralateral arm to the target arm. In the current study, we investigate if different types of somatosensory information formulate parallel modulation of grip force when perform similar functional experimental task. Nine healthy individuals performed the same task of lifting and transporting an insrumented cup with contrlalateral index finger touch to the wrist, elbow and shoulder, in addition to no touch condition. Movement of the contralateral arm was produced when touch to the wrist and elbow; while touching the shoulder involve no movement of contralateral arm. But a relative movement between finger tip and the touch location can be found with application of finger touch to the shoulder. Grip force was reduced approximately the same amount in all touch conditions (wrist, elbow, shoulder) as compared to no touch condition. This outcome suggest that proprioceptive information from the muscle and joint receptors of the contralateral arm is used in control of grip force when a finger touch applied to wrist and elbow and cutaneous information is utilized when touch became available to the shoulder. It needs to be highlighted that different neural mechanisms are employed while lifting a hand-held object with a self contralateral finger touch. The results of the study also provided additional evidence to support the use of a second arm in the performance of activities of daily living and stress the importance of future studies investigating contralateral arm sensory input in grip force control.

▼ Background: In the past few decades, anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been explored as a promising therapeutic adjuvant in stroke rehabilitation. However, observed high intra individual variability to tDCS, as identified by changes in corticomotor excitability measured with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), has limited the clinical application of tDCS. Neurons are closely related to surrounding blood vessels such that changes in neural activity changes cerebral blood flow. Transcranial Doppler (TCD), a widely accepted clinical diagnostic tool, measures changes in cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFv) and is used to study neurovascular coupling during various motor and cognitive training. Hence, to understand if TCD can be a useful tool to explore changes in tDCS, we asked the following questions: Does CBFv change after tDCS in chronic stroke survivors? Does CBFv changes correlate with changes in corticomotor excitability? Can CBFv changes differentiate between Responders and Non-responders to tDCS?
Methods: TMS testing was done on the lower limb motor cortex before and after 15 minutes of 1 mA anodal tDCS in 20 chronic stroke survivors to identify Responders and Non-responders. During TCD sessions, CBFv was recorded at baseline for 5 minutes and 15 minutes post anodal/sham tDCS.
Results: Analysis of cortical excitability showed that only 60% of the study participants responded to tDCS. Anodal tDCS did not cause changes in CBFv at post 5 and 10 minutes and it did not correlate with changes in cortical excitability. Also, there was no significant difference in CBFv changes between responders and non-responders post tDCS.
Conclusion: CBFv changes do not directly represent changes in cortical excitability after anodal tDCS. However, it should be noted that low sample size limits the interpretation of results in this study.

▼ Background: Aging and stroke-induced sensori-motor and balance impairments increase postural instability, thus leading to increased fall risk. Thus developing a training paradigm that promotes cardiovascular fitness while addressing postural stability and ambulatory function might be crucial in addressing community based activity profiles among these population groups. Purpose: To examine the effect of a multidimensional, dance-based exergaming training on improving postural stability, walking function, cardiac autonomic modulation and to further assess if these improvements would be carried over to community based activity profiles. Methods: Community dwelling individuals with hemiparethic stroke (N = 15) and healthy older adults (N =15) received dance-based exergaming training for 6 weeks using the commercially available Kinect dance gaming “ Just Dance 2014” for one hour and thirty minutes. Change in balance control was evaluated by the Limits of Stability test (Neurocom Inc.). The post-training changes in self-initiated center of pressure response time (RT), the movement velocity (MV), the maximum excursion (MXE) were examined. Heart rate variability was determined for pre- and post-intervention for 10 minutes in (1) supine. Gait speed and cadence were recorded using an electronic walkway. Changes in PA during community ambulation (one week before and after intervention) were assessed using Omran HJ-321 Tri-Axis Pedometer. To determine if the changes in functional measures assessing mobility (Berg Balance Scale [BERG]), endurance (six-minute walk test [6MWT]), and gait (speed and cadence) correlated with improved community ambulation, the difference in clinical measures and gait performance from pre- to post intervention was linearly regressed with the changes in community ambulation. Results: Post-training the RT was significantly reduced (p<0.05). Similarly, post-training, MV and MXE were significantly higher (p<0.05). Post-training there was a significant improvement in autonomic modulation in the supine position, indicating an improvement in LF, HF and LF/HF (p<0.05). Maximum work load and maximum oxygen uptake increased significantly post-training (p<0.05). The change in number of steps recorded in daily living from pre-to post intervention correlated with the pre-post change scores for functional measures BERG, 6MWT, gait speed, and cadence (p<0.05). Conclusion: The dance-based exergaming provides a benchmark for incorporating long-term adherent PA regimen in aging and stroke population, which along with improving cardiovascular functioning and walking function, improves community based activity profiles.

▼ Anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) play an important role in the performance of many functional activities that require the maintenance of standing balance. Despite the significance of this postural control mechanism, little is known about the organization of APAs, in children with typical development and children with cerebral palsy (CP), during the performance of arm movements executed while standing. The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether APAs are present in these populations of children. A second purpose is to describe the organization, as well as any similarities and differences, in their APAs. The final purpose is to investigate the association between APAs and functional performance by correlating the APA integrals of the children with CP with their scores on measurement tools commonly administered in clinical settings. Children between the ages of 7 – 18 years were recruited for both studies. APAs were measured by recording electromyographic activity in six muscles of the trunk and legs (R and L sides) and calculating changes in center of pressure (COP) and peak arm acceleration. The first study reports on APAs in children with typical development during the performance of bilateral, reciprocal and unilateral arm movements. The results indicate that typically developing children (n=10) generate patterns of anticipatory muscle activation and suppression and center of pressure changes similar to those reported in healthy adults. They can also produce task specific sequencing of muscle activity and differentiate between symmetrical and asymmetrical perturbations. In the second study, data were collected during arm flexion and extension movements performed by children with hemiplegia (n=9) and diplegia (n=9). We found that children with CP are able to generate anticipatory muscle activity and produce task specific APAs. However, only children with typical development and hemiplegia demonstrate changes in COP similar to those described in healthy adults. The children with diplegia demonstrate higher baseline muscle activity and smaller APA magnitudes than children with typical development and hemiplegia and during bilateral shoulder extension, change in COP is posterior, and peak acceleration of arm movement is reduced. Recommendations for treatment strategies to enhance APAs in children with CP are presented. Finally, correlations between APA EMG integrals and scores on clinical measures of gross motor performance and balance were analyzed to explore relationships between APAs and function, and EMG integrals were quantified using a Symmetry Index (SI). The results of these findings are presented and discussed.

▼ The objective of this thesis was to understand the role of anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) in compensatory control of posture in healthy young and older adults and the effect of training on the generation and utilization of APAs. Five experiments involving 21 healthy young and 10 healthy older adults were conducted. External predictable and unpredictable perturbations of identical magnitude were applied at the shoulder level. Electrical activity of trunk and leg muscles, ground reaction forces, and kinematic data were recorded and analyzed for the anticipatory and compensatory phases of postural control.
The first study investigated the role of APAs in subsequent control of posture in healthy young adults. The second study examined the differences in APAs between young and older adults as well as the effect of aging on the ability to use APAs in subsequent control of posture. The fourth and fifth studies investigated the immediate effects of training in improving the generation of anticipatory postural adjustments and their utilization in subsequent balance control of healthy young and older adults.
The outcomes of these studies, while highlighting the role of anticipatory postural adjustments in balance control, also provide a background for rehabilitation interventions focused on long-term training of balance control in the elderly and people with neurological impairments.

▼ Falling is one of the most common and significant health threats faced by older adults. Over one third of the community-dwelling older adults aged above 64 years fall annually. Hence it is imperative to develop effective preventive strategies to reduce falls among older adults. Perturbation training has been recently introduced as an emerging task-specific training paradigm which involves execution of whole-body motor skills-such as stepping response to avoid falls in the forward and backward direction. A series of four experiments were included in this dissertation which respectively examined effects of adaptation, generalization and long-term retention of the task-specific perturbation training applied by an over-ground trip device and a treadmill-slip device. The results of this dissertation supplement previous perturbation studies performed in older population and suggest that healthy, community-dwelling older adults retain similar intact adaptive stability control across functional activities, such as recovering from both subject-controlled and experimenter-induced repeated slips and trips, as is retained by young adults. These results highlight the potential for using a task-specific slip- or trip-perturbation paradigm to improve immediate proactive and reactive dynamic stability control. Furthermore, the findings suggest an after-effect of reduced fall-risk in older adults as a result of short-term retention and the potential for generalization across conditions. Moreover, the studies suggest a need to refine the training intensity (i.e., larger slip distance, higher obstacle height), amount of training repetitions, and number of training sessions to better yield training-induced adaptive improvements, extend retention and generalization, and ultimately have the best success in reducing real-life falls in older adults' daily living.

▼ Slip-related falls cause severe consequences such as hip fractures and traumatic brain injuries, which can lead to prolonged hospitalization or even death in older adults. These fall-related injuries lead to a loss of mobility, causing psychological problems such as social isolation and even depression. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the age-related changes that result in falls and develop effective fall-prevention paradigms in older adults. The studies in this dissertation examined the age-related changes in the gait speed in relation to dynamic stability, which is a well-established fall risk predictor in older adults. In addition, this dissertation used a treadmill-based perturbation training paradigm in order to examine its effects on dynamic stability. Furthermore, participants were subjected to an overground slip to examine the generalization of the learned skill from treadmill-based perturbation training depending on the level of threat dosage (i.e., intensity, slip distance) and practice dosage (i.e., repetition). The study in this dissertation found that older adults, especially over the age of 85, walked significantly slower and demonstrated lower dynamic stability than those with ages below 85 years. Also, the study in this dissertation found that treadmill slip-perturbation training has a positive effect on reducing slip-related falls. Treadmill slip-perturbation training has the advantage of adjusting the training profile, thereby helping modulate the intensity and repetition depending on the health status of the older adult. Owing to the cost and space effectiveness associated with the treadmill as compared to the traditional overground walkway, such equipment can be easily translated into rehabilitation clinics. Therefore, treadmill slip-perturbation training could be quite suitable for clinical settings designed to help community-dwelling older adults improve their reactive balance and reduce their fall rate.

▼ Purpose: The focus of the thesis was to investigate the effect of ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) on the outcome of balance assessment.
Methods: Ten healthy subjects participated in clinical tests of balance with and without bilateral ankle foot orthoses (AFOs). The following clinical tests were performed: the modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (mCTSIB), the Limits of Stability (LOS) and the Functional Reach test.
Results: A statistically significant effect of AFOs was seen in the outcomes of the mCTSIB test (p = 0.042), LOS test (p = 0.021) and Reach test (p = 0.003).
Conclusions: The results indicate that the use of AFOs may impede the performance of clinical tests of balance. This outcome should be taken into consideration while performing balance evaluations with patient populations in the clinic

▼ Purpose: Hypoesthesia, or partial loss of sensitivity to sensory stimuli has been reported in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA), with deficits reported in both proprioception (kinesthesia and repositioning) and vibration perception threshold (VPT) at the affected knee. The mechanisms underlying these deficits are unclear, however, previous evidence has indicated that diminished somatosensation, such as VPT may occur due to altered nociceptive processing. It has been postulated that similar mechanisms may explain deficits in kinesthesia, or the ability to detect passive joint movement in knee OA, however this premise has not been examined. It was hypothesized in this study that deficits in VPT and proprioception (kinesthesia) would be associated in subjects with knee OA. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between somatosensory measures of pain, vibration detection, proprioception and function in persons with knee OA. Methods: Fifteen individuals (mean age, 55.6±7.4y; 8 female; BMI 32.0±7) diagnosed with OA of the tibiofemoral joint by their physician (≥ grade II Kellgren and Lawrence radiographic changes) participated. Measurements included VPT at the knee using a biothesiometer, proprioception tested via threshold to detection of passive movement, resting and worst pain during the week prior to testing examined via Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), function using the Knee Outcome Survey Activities of Daily Living Scale (KOS) and isometric quadriceps strength. Results: Subjects reported resting pain (3.1±3.0) and worst pain (6.2±2.6) on the NPRS, and 56±16% on the KOS, indicating an average of 50% deficit in function. Quadriceps strength, vibration perception and proprioception were significantly different between limbs (p<0.05). These deficits were not correlated (r=.02) however a moderate correlation was found between proprioception deficits and resting and worst pain (r=.54, p<0.05), but not with vibration. No correlation was found between diminished function as measured by the KOS and both vibratory and proprioceptive deficits. Conclusions: Hypoesthesia, as measured by proprioception and vibration detection was significantly impaired on the painful OA limb compared to the contralateral limb and these findings were correlated to resting and worst pain. Functional deficits were only weakly correlated to somatosensory deficits, indicating that diminished function is likely multifactorial in nature.

▼ Balance control in older adults is diminished as a result of impaired anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs). An optimal APA is marked by early onset of muscle activation prior to the moment of perturbation. Our recent study demonstrated that APAs in older adults could be improved with a single session training of catching a ball. The aim of the present study was to see if longer training leads to enhancement of APAs and overall balance capacity in older adults, and if this improvement is retained after the training.
Six older adults (73.3±5.0 years) were randomly assigned into the Experimental (EG) and Control (CG) groups. The EG participated in APA-based training that included 3 sessions per week (total of 12 sessions over 4 weeks) of catching of 2lbs/4lbs medicine ball while standing in 4 different body stability positions, and the CG that did not participate in the ball-catching training. Subjects in both of the groups were assessed three times (pre-training, post-training, and one month after training (retention)) using predictable external perturbation applied to the upper body during which electrical activity (EMG) of trunk and leg muscles was recorded. Clinical tests of balance (Timed-Up and Go, Single limb stance, and Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale) were implemented.
As a result of APA-based training, postural activity in anticipation of the perturbation in the EG occurred earlier as compared to the pre-training condition in Medial gastrocnemius (MG), Biceps Femoris (BF) and External Oblique (EO) muscles while the same three muscles showed worsening in CG. The effect of APA-based training was seen in the improved outcomes of clinical tests of balance in the EG but not in the CG.
Improvements in clinical outcome measures in EG as compared to the control group reveal the translation of the effect of APA-based training into improved balance and functional performance
The study outcome for the first time provides support for the feasibility of a long-term APA-based training in enhancement of balance control of healthy older adults.

▼ Purpose: Both hyperalgesia and hypoesthesia have been reported in individuals with chronic pain. Although previous studies have investigated clinical characteristics of chronic pain, less is known on the effect of persistent pain on somatosensation. Specifically, while hypoesthesia in terms of proprioceptive deficits and vibration perception deficits have been reported in different chronic pain populations, a direct relationship between pain and hypoesthesia has not been demonstrated. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of experimentally induced quadriceps muscle pain on nociceptive and non-nociceptive somatosensation and to investigate whether changes in measures of hypoesthesia correlate following induction of pain. Methods: In ten healthy individuals, quadriceps pain was induced via an eccentric exercise protocol. The dominant limb served as the experimental side and the non-dominant limb served as a control. Measurements which included pressure pain threshold (PPT), proprioception, measured via threshold to detect passive movement (TDPM), vibration perception threshold (VPT), subjective report of pain measured via visual analog scale (VAS) and Y-balance test were performed at baseline, immediately following the exercise and two days post-exercise. Results: Compared with baseline measures, a significant difference was found in all measures of hyperalgesia, as by PPT (P<0.05), and in measures of hypoesthesia including TDPM (P<0.05) and VPT (P<0.05) at the experimental knee post-exercise. PPT measures were also significantly reduced at the vastus medialis muscle (P<0.05), the tibialis anterior muscle (P<0.05) and the webspace between the 1st and 2nd metacarpals of the contralateral hand (P<0.05) at two days post-exercise. Measures of TDPM (P=0.19) and VPT (P=0.74) on the contralateral knee were not significantly different as compared to baseline. Change scores for measures of hypoesthesia, ie, proprioception and VPT, were moderately correlated (r=0.439), however this relationship was not significant (P=0.106). Conclusion: This study found that experimentally induced quadriceps pain resulted in widespread hyperalgesia and hypoesthesia locally at the painful limb, as measured by knee proprioception and VPT at the knee. Pain induced hypoesthesia may occur through central inhibitory mechanisms. A moderate but non-significant relationship was found between change scores of hypoesthesia, indicating that the two modalities, while distinct, may be affected via similar mechanisms.

▼ Introduction: Muscle weakness on one side of the body is a common consequence of a stroke, which frequently results in asymmetry of stance and gait. Thus, the improvement of symmetry of balance and gait is a rehabilitation goal for individuals with hemiparesis due to stroke. The overall objective of this research was to investigate the effect of using a textured insole (T-insole) on symmetry of stance and gait. The T-insole positioned in the shoe of one limb creates discomfort that forces the user to shift the body weight to the other limb.
Method: Three experiments were conducted to uncover the role of discomfort-inducing textured insoles (T-insoles) on symmetry of stance and gait. The first experiment (healthy subjects, N=8) was focused on demonstrating that using a T-insole alters the symmetry of static balance and gait. The second experiment (individuals with stroke, N= 8) was conducted to understand if the T-insole improves the asymmetry of balance and gait in individuals with stroke. The focus of the third experiment (healthy subjects, N=8) was on comparing the effects of different prototypes of the T-insole on altering the symmetry of balance and gait. Static balance and gait parameters were measured with the Balance Master® and GAITRite® systems, and subjective discomfort was assessed with a Visual Analog scale. Symmetry indexes were calculated and analyzed. Paired t-tests were used in Experiments 1 and 2 to compare between the conditions and one-way ANOVA was applied in Experiment 3 to compare the effects of prototypes.
Results: Using a T-insole resulted in a decrease of gait velocity (p < 0.05) and increased asymmetry of gait parameters (p < 0.05) in healthy individuals (Experiment 1). When individuals with stroke used the T-insole, improvements in asymmetry of gait parameters (p < 0.05) were seen (Experiment 2). The use of different prototypes was associated with variations in the observed changes in gait and stance symmetry: the T-insole prototype with redesigned projections was more effective as compared to other prototypes (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: The outcome of the study demonstrates that a discomfort-inducing insole could alter stance and gait symmetry. Specifically, while using the T-insole, individuals with stroke were able to improve the symmetry of their gait. While all studied T-insoles could help in restoration of gait and stance symmetry, it is important to use the insole that produces the best possible effect.

▼ The primary objective of this dissertation was to investigate the role of altered vision and proprioception in the control of vertical posture. Four separate experiments involving 38 healthy subjects were conducted to study feedforward and feedback components of postural control. The experimental method involved external perturbations delivered at the shoulder level. Electrical activity of muscles and ground reaction forces were recorded and analyzed.
In the first study visual acuity was altered by using differently powered glasses while the role of different visual cues (static vs. dynamic) was investigated in the second study. The third study laid insight on the role of altered proprioception in the control of posture by using miniature tendon vibrators. The outcome of the fourth and final study further established the significance of both somatosensory and proprioceptive inputs in the control of posture while maintaining balance on different support surfaces.
The outcomes from these studies will help us understand how humans control their posture under conditions of altered vision and proprioception. It also provides a background for new rehabilitation interventions focused on improving balance in the elderly and patients with sensory deficits.

Compared to forward or backward-directed falls, laterally-directed falls significantly increase the risk of hip fracture by older adults. The long-term goals of this work are to identify modifiable risk factors for laterally-directed falls by older adults and, subsequently, to design and evaluate clinical interventions targeting these risk factors. Currently however, it is unknown how laterally-directed falls are initiated. It is possible that with age the ability to regulate frontal plane center of mass motion with respect to the base of support is compromised. A series of studies was conducted to investigate the age-related effects of age on the maintenance of dynamic stability during tasks that are potentially destabilizing in the frontal plane. The tasks included: normal walking, laterally-directed disturbances delivered by a motorized platform to standing subject, and laterally-directed disturbances to dynamic stability resulting from subjects performing voluntary laterally-directed steps during forward-directed walking. The results of these studies suggest that the ability of older adults to maintain frontal plane dynamic stability is context specific. Previously reported frontal plane instability of older adults recovering from disturbances delivered to standing posture may not relate to the ability of older adults to maintain frontal plane dynamic stability during dynamic mobility-related tasks. This potential context dependency is of clinical importance. These results can inform the development of clinical interventions that target risk factors related to frontal plane dynamic instability and ultimately laterally-directed falls.
